WHAT THE HELL IS A VOCALOID

VOCALOID is a voice synthesizing software released in 2004 and developed by Yamaha Corporation. You make a melody and type lyrics/'speech' and it sings for you!
Vocaloid is both the name of the program, and the term used for the avatars each voicebank is released as (avatars as in the singer, like Miku)
there are a lot of other vocal synthesizers out there by different names with their own voicebanks. sometimes they can get tossed under the name vocaloid which can be confusing lol (umbrella term you can use is just vocal synth. that's what they all are). this page is mostly for yamaha's vocaloid software specifically, but I love all vocal synths

I was introduced to vocaloid in 2013 through Giga-P's arrangement of Electric Angel and now I LOVVEE VOCALOID AND VOCAL SYNTHS. I spend most hours of every day listening to vocaloid it's such a huge part of my life. I think what's so nice about it to me is the use of the same characters for tons of different genres and stories. I can find something totally new and unique, but find familiarity in the voices used, and I like things that way. each voicebank is like a friend that I've known for years my cool family in my computer
